The Course or seen" Singleton, OF Mississippi.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: Is it true as
published, that CENT? Singleton, of Mississippi,
n member of the Library Committee of the
House of Representatives, has refused to favor
a bill authorizing the Secretary OF War to award
a medal for distinguished services to an officer
of the volunteers who, during the late war to
suppress rebellion, so calamity conducted him
self TO deserve that special recognition in the
opinion Of many prominent officials, on the
ground that the acts of gallantry were dis
played in war against his people?
Let US have the facts, and hear the opinions
Of our comrades throughout the country.
discover on inquiry that Singleton never
served in the rebel army, but was bomb
proof" in the Confederate Congress all through
the war. l doubt that the brave men who
actually fought tho battles of the defunct Con-
federacy will consider Singleton either discreet
or decent in his refusal.
Will this feeling on the part of the gallant
General % explain why the Library Committee
failed to purchase the painting Grant and his
Generals" which was rendered to the Govern
ment for permanent exhibition in the Capitol,
and which the entire Grand Army of the Re-
public petitioned Congress to buy and preserve

9th n. Y.

The following circular, issued by the com
mittee of the 9th regiment (S3d n. Y. S. Vols
explains itself:
spectfuliy and urgently asked in aid of the erection
OF a monument to commemorate the services of the
only regiment in existence to-day in this city that
enlisted and served in behalf OF the State OF New
York for the term Of the during the late rebel
lion. IL has also been called upon and served since
then ia the riots that have taken place.
The 9th regiment, n. Y. >. NJ, volunteered It's
services in April, 1861. for the war and left New
York city on May y following; participated in all
the important battles OF the East under Gems Me-
Dowell, Mcclellan. Pope. Burnside, Hooker. Meade
aud Grant. and had nearly 30 OF its men killed,
while many more died by reason Of wounds and
exposure.
That monument worthy of this great metropolis
and commensurate with the services and sacrifices
of the 9th may be erected, fervent appeal IL made
20 all citizens. friends. ex-members and members
of the regiment for contributions.
The battlefield of Gettysburg has been selected
as the most suitable place because OF its National
and historic Importance The ground upon which
the battle was fought Is owned by association
chartered under the laws of the State of Pennsyl-
vania and has been duly surveyed and marked by
the United States Engineers. Regiments To tire
number of nearly $50 from several States have al
tons where each fought and the battlefield is WIS.,
tied by thousands from all parts OF the world, so
attractive and famous has ID become.
The Empire State Is represented by only two
monuments, this city by none. This Is not credit
able to either State or city but is no doubt due TO
not having been brought TO the notice of the people
Any sum you are DESTROYS of contributing will be
gratefully received. IL can be sent by check to the
Treasurer. William l.. Heermance, No. 3l3 Green
witch street, New York city, payable To order, who
pleased to call on you in reference thereto at an
early day.
